New address!

Submitted on June 10, 2009.

I moved the site from http://filters.muziq.be to http://www.effectsdatabase.com: easier and more international.

I started using the old URL about 5 years ago, intending to make some small music-related sites under the muziq.be domain, but after a while I decided to make a site about all effects, not just envelope filters and I started the other sites.

The old effectsdatabase.com site disappeared 2 years ago and and the owner didn't extend the domain name registration, but register.com didn't release it for registration until a few weeks ago.

Please, spread the word (and link)!

Visit to the Electro-Harmony factory!

Submitted on June 29, 2009.

I just came back from a short holiday in New York, where I also visited the Electro-Harmonix factory!

Of the new pedals I only saw the Memory Boy (it was not yet allowed to take pictures of the final look) and the Riddle Q-Balls.

Mike Matthews was also there and as I'm from Belgium he told me how he signed the first deals with the bosses of Sovtek in Brussels and how they went to a restaurant in the "Rues des Bouchers" ("the street with all the fish").

Here are some pictures already, I'll update this post with more details, I'm still very tired from the trip (and/or the jet lag?) and the writing is not going very well at the moment :)

Submitted on April 6, 2009.

In their video about the Screaming Bird (Nano Treble Booster) and The Mole (Nano series Bass Booster) you can already see the case of one of their next pedals: the XO series Memory Boy Analog Delay!

It seems it will have 4 knobs and 2 switches for different modes

Here's the list of the new effects announced at the Frankfurt Musik Messe 2009. It will be updated regularly.

No premieres but still great to see:

Wanted: old brochures, catalogs,...

Submitted on March 5, 2009.

I asked a few shops around here, but they all seem to clean up their papers regularly (good for them, not for me ;)).

I'm searching all kinds of documentation about guitar effect pedals:

  • brochures, catalogs, flyers,...
  • old magazine ads
  • manuals
  • schematics & service manuals
  • ...

As I'm mostly interested in the content, scans or readable pictures are sufficient if you want to keep the papers.

If you have something, please let me know through the contact form.

Thanks!

New Electro-Harmonix pedals!

Submitted on January 27, 2009.

On the new Electro-Harmonix catalog there's a small section "coming soon" with the names of 5 new pedals:

Will they be announced at the Frankfurt Musik Messe? Or do we have to wait until Summer NAMM?

Edit (Feb. 12): the Mole and Screaming Bird seem to be available already!

Overview of new pedals at the 2009 NAMM show

Submitted on January 6, 2009.

These were the new effects shown at the 2009 Winter NAMM show. Not all pedals presented as "new" were new, this list only shows what's really new (IMHO ;)):

If you see other new pedals (or have pictures of the pedals in this list for which I have not made a page yet), please let me know :)

NAMM 2009: pictures, brochures,... are VERY welcome!!!

Submitted on January 3, 2009.

As the NAMM show is a bit too far away for me I wonder if some visitors could take pictures of the new pedals and send them to me (or let me know where I can find them online?).

I'm also interested in the cheap/OEM/new brands that nobody else seems to care about, URL's or brochures are very welcome for these as some of them disappear or sell their pedals under other names.

I hope I can go there one of the next years :D

Browse by country

Submitted on October 14, 2008.

I added a new way to navigate the brands: by country.

This is the country where the brand name comes from, not necesarily the country where the effects are made (some brands sell effects made in different countries or moved their production a few times).

I couldn't find the right country for all brands yet (especially those that don't exist anymore), so if you see a brand in "(unknown country)" and you know where it comes from, please let me know :)
